About: I have taken care of cats of all kinds-young, old, indoor, outdoor. My family 3 outdoor cats and 1 indoor cat that I often provide care and management tips for. I also frequently watch my neighbors’ cats (both indoor and outdoor) when they are out of town. I have provided medication to mildly reactive cats and am familiar with methods to assist in the medication process, if needed.
“Michelle was wonderful with our little scaredy cat, Ninja. She actually was able to get some photos of her and saw her a few times. Usually the sitters never see her. Ninja was much calmer when we got home than previous trips. Knowing that Michelle is watching our furbaby really helped us relax on our trip. We will certainly use her again!!”
“Christa checked-in exactly as discussed and kept us updated when she couldn’t find our cat that likes to hide. Found safe and sound when we got home. Would highly recommend!”
“Abigail was really awesome and I appreciated her care for my two cats. Her chill vibes helped a lot with one who is very anxious. The feeding station was clean and the cats were very happy when I came home. Thank you!”
“Summer is absolutely amazing! She watched my cat last year for the holidays and I am so happy she was able to watch Neko again! She was so kind and attentive with my cat, especially after she had a little freak-out moment. She went above and beyond to check in on her and make sure she was okay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Michelle is just wonderful! I didn’t have to worry at all about my senior cat while I was away! I can always tell when I walk in the door & my cat isn’t yelling at me, he was well loved & taken care of! Thank you so much Michelle!”
“My first time on Rover and Laura was WONDERFUL! I felt very safe leaving my sensitive babies in their care. I will absolutely be re-booking for future cat needs and have already give her info to a close friend who has some fears around leaving her baby with a stranger, like me.”
“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”
“Maia went above and beyond!!! Not only was she so kind to my kitties but she even fixed my broken trash can and scooped when the booking was only for a drop by and feeding! My cats and I are very grateful and would absolutely book her again 😊”
“Rachel was so thoughtful and patient with our foster cat Jessie, who can be a bit shy with new people. Rachel kept us updated with her progress. Jessie felt comfortable with Rachel towards the end to ask for pets and eat and take treats around her. Hopefully Jessie will be adopted soon but I’m sure she would love to have Rachel’s company again!”
About: I started taking care of cats in 2020 and loved it so much I got my own! I am neonatal kitten foster parent so I have a ton of experience with Kittens from strict medication regiments and feisty Mama's i’ve seen it all doing that!
“Diane was amazing with our cat and rabbit! Since my cat requires insulin, I needed a sitter who could not only administer the insulin, but also put my pets at ease. Diane was perfect and would completely recommend her for any pet/house sitting needs!”
“Neha was amazing! She took great care of Kugubu and did everything that we asked. She was really professional and quick to respond and communicate with us. I would definitely recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Victoria had already had a visit to meet our 3 fur babies and they liked her immediately. She did a drop in visit and I was pleased to get a report that even our outside dog who is typically leary of strangers, greeted her with a wagging tail! Victoria is kind and has a way with animals so don’t hesitate to call on her for your pet needs.”
“Ellie is definitely a cat whisperer! She easily made friends with my nervous kitty. Her communication was great and my home was perfect when I returned. Would certainly use her again in the future!”

“What a fabulous first experience with Rover! Couldn’t have asked for better care of our Charlie. Frances was super responsive, available at all times, willing to let us pick him up late, kept in touch, sent lots of photos and even offered to give Charlie a bath when I asked about places to give him a bath. She is the best!”
About: Located at Hills of Bear Creek, in a quiet neighborhood and fenced yard. There is a walk trail nearby. I am home almost 24/7, with the surveillance on 24/7 for everybody’s safety and pets’. I love animals, they will be treat like they are my own. I will try my best to stick to the routine that your pet is used to, that means I will follow any rules you have for them. I love to go on a lot of walks. I can bring your pet along if they like to walk or run. It depends on their stamina, personality, and routine you have for them. However, I will never go for walk in the dark. They will never be outside unsupervised, even though I own a fenced yard. That is against rover rules and I will abide by it. I always have bowls for water and foods, toys, and treats or bones available if needed. I will also cook real meat or vegetables meals if your pets need them. , please do discuss with me any further about this if this service is required About me: I am a stay home mom with children. When I grew up, I had variety animals. I once owned a monkey, fox, cat, dog, rat, gerbil, guniea pig, and fish. I have one shy cat, Kelsie. She will warm up after a night. She likes to stay back and observe at first. She gets along with dogs and cats, however she is not socialized. As complimentary, I will do one meet and greet before schedule sitting. Your pets and aiko can meet and we can see how things go from there. (I wish I could bring Kelsie to meet/greet. She is a house cat, and doesn’t ever leave) I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home. I am always home and around your pets. I go out for 2 hours for errands, or any sports. I will always communicate if I have to go out for more than 3-4 hours in ahead of time. I have a fenced yard and I do have gate on the stairs to prevent dogs from going upstairs if dogs are not allowed upstairs.
“Shristi & Nabin were great with Max! Patient, flexible, soft spoken, Also great communicators, they send plenty of photos and respond quickly. Would definitely recommend and would book again!”
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.
“We had a wonderful experience with our Yan! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”
“Mike is amazing! He’s great at communication - I get updates all day long on the dogs and he also takes them on a ton of walks during the day. I can tell he really loves the dogs and my dogs run to his house from the car every time we arrive. Mike is also super accommodating to my work schedule and other things going on in my personal life - highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!
“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”
“Thorough, accommodating and a good instinct for animals, Nanda was great for keeping our two heeler mixes company with her while we worked over three long days. Great with both our puppy and seven-year-old, she's a relief to have as an option to watch the dogs.”
About: My wife and I have been dog sitting for multiple friends over the years and as Rover sitters since August 2020! We both love meeting new furry friends (and their owners) - we have 2 small dogs of our own. We do prefer to sit dogs with low to medium energy levels (to accommodate our elderly dog) and 2 years or older, but we can definitely make exceptions on age and energy level with a Meet & Greet. I work from home, so I’m readily available to keep your pet companion company while you’re away on vacation, business or if your grumpy mother-in-law who doesn’t like dogs is in town. Our home has a wide open floor plan with plenty of room to accommodate the even rowdy (but well mannered), playful ones, and has a very secure backyard. Happy to take your loved one on walks (except during afternoons in summer), on outings to the park and make any other accommodations to make their stay as comfortable and stress free as possible while they’re separated from their 'hooman'.
“Kalena and her other dog crew were fantastic. Watson is a bit older, this year he will be 11. He gets lots of walks at home but this gives him other dogs to interact with more to break up his routine. We appreciate your attention and care of him.”
“Emma was amazing with my dog and her dog, Beau, is the sweetest boy ever! As a first time Rover user, my anxiety quickly melted away after meeting Emma and introducing our dogs. I knew I was leaving my boy in the best possible hands and would not hesitate to recommend Emma!!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 30 years and a dedicated pet sitter for the past decade, although I only joined Rover recently. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite things in life. I also volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter, where I get to meet pets of all personalities, and I love discovering what makes each one unique. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved and understood. Whether your pet prefers long walks, high energy games of fetch or snuggling on the couch, I’m all in! My goal is to always provide care that feels just as comforting and fun as home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work in an office M-F but otherwise I’m generally home. This means I’m available for early morning, evening and weekend visits. When I’m home, I’m fully focused on your pet, whether that’s feeding, playtime, snuggles, or keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door for safe, easy outdoor access. My 10-year-old Shih Tzu, Fiona, is very calm and welcoming with visiting pets. I love taking walks, playing games, and keeping animals engaged so they stay happy and never bored. Your pet will also get plenty of affection—pets, hugs, and lots of love. I can crate your dog at night if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to snooze on the couch like my own pup.
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
About: I have always loved both cats and dogs I live in a decent sized home with my cat parsnip, I’m home all the time now so I’ll be able to keep a close eye on any animal in my care I am currently between jobs so I will be home all day making my schedule ideal for any dogs who need constant supervision or have separation anxiety I like to spend as much Time as possible with the pets in my home I leave most of my doors open so they have free reign of the house.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have gotten paid to take care of them for a little over 8 years! What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved!! I’m patient with puppies, attentive with senior dogs, and happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re getting a fun, loving home away from home. I’m not just their sitter, I’m looking to be their new best friend! 🥰 WFH full time as an HR Coordinator, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to my pug, Gigi, who is truly part of my family. I’m very attentive to her needs and make sure she gets daily exercise, plenty of playtime, and lots of cuddles. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup!! 🥰 I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow each pet’s routine and care instructions closely, provide plenty of supervision and attention, and treat every dog like my own! As a dog owner myself, I would ensure your dog’s safety and make sure that they aren’t even worried about their pawrents being away!
“Riley is the best and my pup Sage loves her walks with him. It’s so nice to come home to a happy and calm dog. I have no doubt that she is always taken such good care of by Riley. He’s gone above by bringing in packages on my doorstep, picking up her dog toys, etc. I love getting to see all the pictures and updates of my fur baby while I’m at work.”
“Very happy with Jade's service! She takes wonderful care of Luna, sends detailed updates, and pays close attention to details like fresh water and securing the home before leaving. Luna loves her and gets excited whenever I tell her Jade is coming.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud Great Dane mom to two gentle giants, I'm very comfortable handling large breeds, but I adore dogs of every shape and size. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or prefers to spend the day relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, attentive hands. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've volunteered with PVAC and Austin Pets Alive!, where I've worked with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. Their well-being, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every dog is unique, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, my schedule already revolves around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I make sure every pet in my care gets the time, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. My dogs get a lot of love. Constant cuddles, pets and treats. I walk them everyday and always ensure they’re hydrated, I would do the same for other doggos. Not every dog is the same, adjustments can always be made.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m passionate about providing dependable, loving care and treating every pet like the family member they are. From playful puppies and energetic adults to sweet seniors, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While I’ve primarily owned larger breeds, I also have experience caring for small breeds. My goal is simple: to give your pets the comfort, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom with a house full of animals too. I have a 1 year old Great Pyrenees Poodle mix and a 14 year old Shepard mix. I also have a ball python and leopard gecko as a part of our family pack! Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m available weekdays from 8:30 AM–2:30 PM, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I do have some evening availability with advance notice. I love incorporating animals into my day and making sure each pet receives the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while their family is away. 🐾 I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, potty breaks in the yard, or simply providing companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I can also offer basic brushing and light grooming as an add-on when needed. 🐾
About: ● Over the past 12+ years, caring for my rescue dog, Emory, and many other dogs has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, sizes, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications, managing and following special diets & feeding routines, and adapting care for dogs with physical limitations or special routines. ● I pay close attention to body language and behavior, using patience and adjusting my approach to each dog’s comfort level. Whether a dog is confident and playful or shy and anxious, I let them move at their own pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interactions or commands. Owners often tell me they're surprised by how quickly their typically reserved or anxious dogs warm up to me! ● Safety is always my top priority, so I'm very mindful of secure leash handling during walks, preventing escapes, monitoring interactions with people and other dogs, keeping anything they could eat or get into out of reach, and paying attention to the weather and each dog's energy level and physical abilities. ● I also take the time to notice changes in behavior or routine that could indicate a dog is feeling stressed, uncomfortable, or unwell. I'm communicative and will always keep you updated with how things are going and anything that needs your attention. ● I believe great pet care comes from being observant, patient, and treating every dog as an individual! ● I work from home with a flexible schedule, so aside from the occasional errands or plans, I'm home during the day & evening. ● Being home helps make it easy for me to stick to your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication times, potty routine, and any exercise or activity. ● Your dog gets plenty of companionship, attention, and frequent potty breaks all throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. ● I'm open to last-minute requests so your pup isn't left high and dry! ● My home is a calm, comfortable place where dogs can relax and settle into a predictable routine. I intentionally host just one household at a time, so your dog can enjoy a low-stress stay without unfamiliar people or dogs coming and going. ● Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and doggie door, and I can provide frequent potty breaks for dogs who don't use one. ● Emory is my 8 y/o rescue (and the calm, steady presence of our home!). He's incredibly tolerant and respectful of other dogs, whether they love to play, prefer their own space, or just enjoy quietly coexisting. He's submissive by nature, doesn't escalate interactions, and lets other dogs set the pace. ● For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain your dog's normal routine as closely as possible.
About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
About: Hello my name is Ivana. I’m available for dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, and doggy daycare I have done pet sitting and dog walking for 15 years and counting for family and friends.

Whether your dog is a puppy, old, big, small, friendly, shy, hyper, relaxed, or whatever makes your pup unique, I am here to lend a helping hand in providing excellent care for your furry best friend! Looking forward to meeting you all! Currently I am available for dog walking and check ins and boarding for dogs and cats. I am available on weekdays and weekends anytime before eight pm!

“Great took very good care of my senior dog. He gave a little extra love and care when she needed it. He is professional and is responsive. I highly recommend him. He was a terrific Dog Walker and will use him again.”
About: I grew up with a wide variety of animals but especially cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting and walking as a side hustle since freshman year of high school in 2016. I moved out and got certified as a wag walker in early 2023. It’s been a great side hustle over the years and I’ve picked up additional skills like training and grooming. I also have two cats as an adult. What has changed currently is leaving my full time job in hopes of connecting with things I love like animals. My parents no longer live in state and I miss my dog friends. I make my own schedule and most of my income is currently from pet care. Open to odd jobs and odd hours, genuinely love the work. I have diagnosed ocd so if you give me a list I will stick to it. I try to go above and beyond when it comes to care and that extra step. Bonding with the animal and understanding their specific personality is highly important to me.
“Rory was so amazing with Raven, providing extra time for her when her stomach was upset and making sure she was well taken care of while I was out of town. I appreciated the great communication and thoughtfulness beyond measure!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust to care for their pets.

I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for check-ins and pet care throughout the day. I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I work from home, with a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate all different times and lengths of stay. Additionally I have my own vehicle. In your home I will follow all given instructions, respect you and your pets space and ensure your animals are cared for just as you would.

“Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.”
“Marie was an outstanding sitter! Her excellent communication and regular updates including pictures were so appreciated. My dog requires medication with each meal and she ensured this was taken care of, and gave Lenny plenty of exercise between walks and lots of outdoor time while the weather was nice. I highly recommend Marie for anyone looking to have their fur baby cared for!”
“Gail is amazing with our pup. He’s feels right at home which helps relieve any anxiety we have with leaving him while we go on vacation. Also I love getting all the updates!”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Max—your updates, kindness, and the way you made him feel at home meant the world to us. It was clear you truly connected with him and treated him like family. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely love to book with you again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, reliable sitter!”
“Alice did an exceptional job taking care of James, as usual. She was attentive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. I highly recommend Alice to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“My dog Belle seemed to have a great time staying with Alison and her family. She got so much attention she didn’t have time to miss us, and she had fun playing with other dogs. Alison was great about sending updates, and I felt my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Maura and Shawn are outstanding! I had to leave town for an emergency and they were so kind and accommodating. They sent us plenty of photos and were extremely communicative. Would highly recommend them!”
“Yan and her husband were ABSOLUTELY amazing with our 2 pups. They sent us tons of photos and videos during the day so we could see how much they were enjoying their time. We will definitely be boarding with them again.”

“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”
“Iuliia watched my two mini dachshunds and they had a great time. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures and I will definitely leave them with her the next time I’m out of town.”
“Denise provided a loving, comfortable environment for my pup. Very good about his care, communicating with me, and all around professionalism. Will happily have her sit for us again!”
“Chuck was the perfect choice for our skittish pup. He provides a warm and caring environment with experienced knowledge of pup's needs. After our Meet & Greet our pup was looking forward to his "visit" with Chuck. He was happy when I dropped him off and silly and playfully when I came to pick him up.”
“Jon and his partner were great! Very communicative and flexible. We’ve got a whole pack of dogs, each with their own personalities and medical cases, and they rolled with the punches no problem at all.”
“We absolutely loved having Morgan and her sweet family watch Jack. We knew that he was in the best hands. Jack was cared for and had so many fun experiences going on walks, going to the dog park, playing in the yard, playing with Morgan and her family, and just being so well cared for around the clock. Morgan sent pictures, videos, and updates. She was always so encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and excels at caring for them. She entertained and played with our pup throughout the day, and she always treated him like part of her family. We are so blessed by her care! Especially since we inquired about same day care with only a few hours notice to be gone for ten days. She was gracious and worked around our last minute time frame. We had confidence that our dog was well loved and cared for the entire time we were away. I would absolutely recommend her and will seek her out immediately whenever our dog needs care. You will be grateful for Morgan’s constant care and kindness!”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog Opal! She tried different techniques to help calm her down as Opal can be very anxious around other dogs — I felt very at ease while I was away on my trip and she made sure to update me on how she was doing.”
